As a general rule, there is a direct correlation between the number of cameras in production and the complexity in the project workflow. Luckily, innovations are allowing production companies to improve the efficiency of their workflows, even when there are hundreds of cameras in use.

No matter the type of content—a Studio multicam project or Live Event in HD or 4K – Cinedeck’s Multicam workflows offer significant advantages for post-production flexibility with limitless options, delivering both speed and versatility to streamline the camera to post pipeline.

Advantages of the Cinedeck Multicam Platform

Designed with years of feedback from a wide range of industry stakeholders—EICs, producers, editors, technicians, facility owners—Cinedecks are ingest and encoding platforms optimized for multi-cam production, post-production, and finishing applications. Addressing the needs of day-to-day production realities and post-production workflows, Cinedecks efficiently eliminate the gaps and impediments challenging these processes to provide a clear path from lens to edit-ready files on your server, simplifying multi-cam production.

With Cinedecks, you can easily create edit-ready low-resolution files faster by encoding master and proxy concurrently across multiple channels. Further, by matching metadata across all channels, you can ensure effortless matchback between your edited low-res timeline and your master encodes. And for editing in Avid, rather than running files through AMA prior to editing, each Cinedeck encode of master and proxy also includes an AAF, allowing for drag and drop functionality. Cinedecks deliver all the features necessary to dramatically streamline workflows at a much lower price point than similar competitor tools.

Cinedeck Empowers Production

FNTECH, a Toronto-based production rental company is a growing name in delivering cutting-edge workflow solutions to some of the most complex production workflows. Big Brother Canada, for example, uses more than 100 cameras that run 24/7 for over 72 days. They wholly rely on Cinedeck recorders to deliver media to editorial quickly.

Cinedeck’s Master/Proxy record feature allows FNTECH to meet Big Brother’s delivery schedule while writing Avid Native files directly to ISIS, resulting in a No-Transcode workflow. (Read more about the Big Brother Workflow here)

FNTECH’s President said, “Cinedeck’s top-of-the-line products give producers the speed, efficiency and security they demand as they entrust their multi-million dollar productions to us.”

30% of high schools have canceled games for referee shortages, AB survey finds

Officials are a scheduling constraint in high school sports. According to Athletic Business survey data, 30% of high schools canceled games due to referee shortages. Athletic Business also reports that, in its college athletics survey, 45% of respondents have a facilities project underway or breaking ground in 2026.

  • 01Referee availability is becoming a hard scheduling constraint: 30% of high school respondents reported canceling games due to shortages, according to Athletic Business.
  • 02Facility investments are still moving in college athletics, with 45% reporting projects underway or breaking ground in 2026, even as most departments say non-traditional revenue is under 25% of total, per Athletic Business.
  • 03The practical procurement pivot is away from one-time capex toward outcomes-based contracts and designs that work for both event experience and compliance needs, including mass-notification audio under NFPA 72, per Athletic Business.

Cosm’s 700-seat domes make NFL rights run like venue operations

Cosm’s 700-seat domes make NFL rights run like venue operations

Cosm is showing select live NFL games in Los Angeles and Dallas. Operators now have to run broadcast-grade production, network-rights scheduling, and hospitality at the same time. CNBC reported the domes seat about 700 and tickets run about $22 to $127 with dynamic pricing.

  • 01The operational benchmark is venue scale: CNBC pegged Cosm capacity at about 700 seats, enough volume that staffing, ingress, concessions, and cleaning need arena-style planning, not “premium sports bar” planning.
  • 02Cosm’s NFL schedule spans multiple rights holders, Prime Video, NBC, ESPN, and select FOX games, meaning venue programming calendars will increasingly be constrained by network windows, not just local demand.
  • 03If dynamic pricing is part of the model, as CNBC reported, the real KPI to watch is sellout velocity by game window, not average ticket price, because labor and F&B purchasing swing with demand spikes.

Fastbreak AI is quietly becoming the scheduling engine for 50-plus pro leagues

Fastbreak AI is quietly becoming the scheduling engine for 50-plus pro leagues

Fastbreak AI says its software now powers scheduling for more than 50 professional leagues worldwide, including NBA work tied to the in-season tournament. Scheduling is being treated like a multi-constraint optimization system. That pushes leagues toward data, governance, and integration work, not just better calendars.

  • 01A pro schedule is now a solvable optimization workload: Fast Company frames the NBA problem as 1,230 games across 30 teams over six months, with constraints coming from networks, venues, safety rules, and fairness.
  • 02Vendor choice is increasingly about constraint governance, not UI: the hard part is deciding which rules are immutable, which are preferences, and who owns changes when tradeoffs hit live operations.
  • 03Fastbreak’s origin story matters for enterprise buyers: Fast Company ties its approach to field-service optimization math from MapAnything, suggesting schedules can be managed like dispatch and routing, with similar data and integration demands.
